Notes
To make these Homemade Peach Cobbler Muffins gluten-free. Simply replace the all-purpose flour. With a gluten-free flour blend. That includes xanthan gum. Or a similar binder. Many gluten-free flour blends are designed for a one-to-one substitution. Which makes this swap easy. And effective. When choosing a gluten-free flour. Opt for one that specifies it's suitable for muffins or baking. You might also want to add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. To help with the rise. As gluten-free flours can sometimes be denser. Ensure all your other ingredients. Like baking powder and vanilla extract. Are certified gluten-free. As cross-contamination can be a concern. With these simple adjustments. You'll have delicious muffins. That everyone, regardless of dietary needs, can enjoy. Enjoy the same sweet, juicy flavors. And crumbly topping. Without any gluten. Keeping the muffins light and moist.
